You may want to go back to your dentist and have him do an x-ray to see if the nerve is dying or infected or see an endodintist regarding it. If its not an infection and the nerve is OK it could the filling is too high and you are hitting it too hard when your teeth meet - so you may want to ask your dentist to check your bite.
